Abstract

Background: Probable effects of living donor liver transplantation on the wellbeing of the donor and psychological difficulties are necessary to be understood.

Objective: To assess the quality of life of living donors after liver donation.

Methods: 140 living donors who underwent hepatectomy between 2012 and July 2015 were enrolled in this study. Donors were asked to complete the Short Form 36-question Health Survey (SF-36) through face to face or by telephone interview.

Results: The mean±SD age of donors at transplantation was 32.1±7.3 years; 83 (59.3%) of donors were female. 134 (95.7%) were married. The mean±SD BMI was 23.8±3.5 (kg/m²). "Mother-to-child" was the most frequent relationship (n=79, 56.4%). 22 (15.7%) complications were reported by participants. The mean±SD score of Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Summary were 48.8±14.6 and 50.1±6.9, respectively.

Conclusion: Most living donors sustain a near average quality of life post-donation. It seems that living donation does not negatively affect the quality of life.

活体肝移植后供者的生活质量:设拉子器官移植中心的经验。

背景:活体肝移植对供体健康和心理困难的可能影响有必要了解。目的:评价活体供者肝捐献后的生活质量。方法:2012年至2015年7月期间接受肝切除术的140例活体供体纳入本研究。捐赠者被要求通过面对面或电话访谈的方式完成36个问题的简短健康调查(SF-36)。结果:供体移植时平均±SD年龄为32.1±7.3岁;83例(59.3%)为女性。已婚134人(95.7%)。BMI平均值±SD为23.8±3.5 (kg/m2)。“母婴”是最常见的关系(n=79, 56.4%)。并发症22例(15.7%)。生理成分总结和心理成分总结的平均±SD评分分别为48.8±14.6分和50.1±6.9分。结论:大多数活体献血者在捐献后的生活质量接近平均水平。活体捐赠似乎不会对生活质量产生负面影响。
